KTFS was operated from a broadcast facility located on State Line Avenue on the Texarkana, Texas side. During that time the station operated with 250 watts, increasing power to 1,000 watts in 1967.

Dave Hall was the News Director and broke the 'Fouke Monster' story, in Fouke, on a Sunday morning via a mobile car phone.

In December 2011, KTFS was taken off the air after vandals committed vandalism at its broadcasting tower. The station filed a Special Temporary Authority to Remain Silent with the FCC on January 9, 2012, which they honored shortly afterward.[1]

On December 20, 2012, KTFS returned to the air with a news/talk format, just two days before the station's license was set to expire.[1]

On April 19, 2013, KTFS changed formats to classic hits, simulcasting KTTY.[2] The station's call sign was changed to KCMC on March 21, 2014.

On July 1, 2017, KCMC changed formats from classic hits to talk.

On November 28, 2017, KCMC's call sign was changed back to KTFS.

On January 22, 2019, KTFS changed its format from talk to gospel, branded as "KTOY Gospel 105.9" (simulcast on FM translator K290CP 105.9 FM Texarkana).[3]
